Surprisingly absolutely NO ONE, Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are back together following their “breakup” last year. Casper has been around J.Lo this whole time, but Jennifer has maintained that they’re “just friends” and that she’s a single lady, enjoying a single life. But yesterday, TMZ published a photo of Jennifer and Casper kissing – go here to see. Casper picked up Jennifer from the American Idol studio and a photographer caught them locking lips. Now TMZ says that Casper and Jennifer never even broke up in the first place!
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart did NOT get back together, because we found out they were never really apart. Sources close to the couple tell us … the break-up they announced in June was a business move. Multiple sources say in the spring they did stop seeing each other, but only for a few weeks.
We’re told JLo was hawking her movie, “Boy Next Door,” and honchos on the film felt creating a buzz that she was hooking up with co-star Ryan Guzman would help sell tickets. It’s hard to do that when you’re not single. But the decision wasn’t one-sided. We’re told Casper was up to the same thing because he was shooting “Street,” a UFC fighter movie where he buffed up. Again, he was more appealing single.
Good lord, how gross is it that CASPER SMART is like, “Baby, we can’t be together for MY image”? I can understand why Jennifer wouldn’t want to be seen with Casper (full stop). Anyway, this is not surprising at all. As much as I wanted to believe that Jennifer was a single girl, learning how to be alone, we all knew that was never the case. Chica hates to be alone. She’d rather be with someone like Casper than learn to be alone. And that says a lot about her, frankly. I’m a J.Lo Apologist, but I can’t with this. She is so stupid for clinging to this d-bag.

Best celebitchy headline ever.
Ditto. Came in here just to say this headline is perfection.
Yes, she is truly pathetic.
The fact that she felt the need to hide her relationship says it all.
And he was also caught chasing Tranny girls while with her at one point…
She’s got some major issues, emotionally as far as relationships. I don’t care how pretty she makes herself, this woman has some issues she needs to deal with.
Can’t be alone, takes back a guy who cheated, broken engagements, three marriages and divorces. It can’t be everyone elses fault always.
It’s like back to the 90’s with JLO.
Bet she married him eventually too and a big wedding probably too.
The term you are looking for is “trans women.” Unless you were intending to be a gross transphobic dbag
Second on the trans women. He cheated. That’s the problem, if indeed it is a problem and it was cheating. Who he cheated with is a non-issue. Stop bringing it up or count yourself among the bigots.
Cheating is a big issue, cheating with the opposite gender is an even bigger issue. That has nothing to do with phobia of any sort and everything to do with betrayal and lies.
Maybe it’s just about the sex. Nothing wrong with that.
It is when he cheats on her multiple times and he around her kids. Not to mention he works for her, she gets him jobs, and he lives with her along with buying him cars.
Your self-esteem has to be pretty low to put up with all of that .
He and Kim have done what millions would like to do.
Be taken care of!!
It has nothing to do with self esteem and a lot to do with the kind of goals you have in mind, and the kind of person you know yourself to be when you get that opportunity (as in a well known celebrity wants to be with you)
it’s a job now… i think there are enough of these men and women that we can actually coin a phrase or identify it as a job of some kind
I was talking about JLO self-esteem not his he living the high life.
I don’t know if we can assume that he cheated on her.
I think he is not attractive at all, but I feel kind of bad for him. Her choosing to be crazy generous with him doesn’t make him a douchebag. It makes her kind of foolish, but not that big of a deal IMO. If they’re happy, more power to them.
Isn’t she 45? Seriously, get it together, get some therapy, and grow up.
I thought the same thing Bangersandmash. I think the term ‘courtesan’ applies. N’es pas? Nothing new under the sun.
Maybe she doesn’t care. That was my point, maybe SHE is just into the guy for sex, ‘right now’. Not really a fan of hers, her music or acting, but maybe she sees this arrangement as advantageous and not necessarily a long term commitment thing.
Maybe she doesn’t want the public to know that. Many guys who are ‘stars’ have these serial monogamous-ish flings. No one bats an eye.
Yeah, I agree. I think it’s very harsh to call her an idiot. Maybe she’s just with him for sex and doesn’t want to get involved with someone else who will want “more” eventually. She wants sex, he wants sex, she knows him… done (I know I’m just speculating like anyone else). As long as she’s being safe about it, I’m not going to call her an idiot for it.
@Kiddo
Nothing worg just wanting him for sex but he around her kids and what is she teaching her kids.
Its not that she doesn’t what the public to know but that she was sell I kind of self help book. Hence why she was going on and on about being single and loving it and learning about herself from it. We talk about guys who do it all the time.
I think it’s probably ‘convenient’ for both parties. The contradiction lies where JLo plays this narrative of the perpetually lost ‘girl-woman’ waiting-for-a-good-man-traditional-thing, but maybe she’s really enjoying that she is the captain of the ship and can fire the deck swabber, in a hot Jenny on the block second. Which, let’s get real, she left the block a long time ago too. Isn’t she known to be a bit of a diva?
ETA: A lot of guys have serial flings, we never hear WHAT IS HE TEACHING THE CHILDREN, GASP! Probably the kids are used to a lot of different people passing through. Women can have guy and girl friends who are static in their lives, for a time, and then move on.
I doubt they are flaunting sex in front of the kids.
I’m with Kiddo. I’m not sure I understand the hand-wringing over “THE CHILDREN!!”
“Hey kids, this is mom’s boyfriend Caspar.”
Simple.
I’m sure she doesn’t go into details about the nature of her relationship to her kids. I mean, why would she?
I would understand the concern more if she was bringing home a new man every day and introducing that man to her kids, but I don’t see that happening here.
Haven’t they been together for 4 or 5 years?
But JLo isn’t a “just here for the sex” kind of person, she’s a relationship, head over heels in love kind of person.
All of her relationships seemed tied to some business element, industry-stepping stone, partnership deal and the like. So who knows? Maybe it’s a more palatable narrative that she is blinded by love and then becomes the poor forlorn damsel in distress. I don’t know her. We only know what is ‘put out there’ for consumption, with any of these people.
It likely started out as a one day at a time hook-up that has morphed into years. She probably isn’t all that interested in getting married again so Casper fits the bill. If he behaves himself and doesn’t make any slip-ups with trannies and so forth, they could last for a while longer, a few or maybe even several years. He’s young, with lots of stamina, and is good in the sack (or she wouldn’t keep him around) so there is that.
I disagree with you there. Obviously, we pick and choose and interpret, but what In see is a woman who tends to date co-workers – as in, people that are nearby and easy, though not necessarily professionally helpful. For every Sean Combs, Ben Affleck, and Marc Anthony (shudder) there’s an Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and of course Casper Smart. This is a woman who has barely been single in the decade plus that she’s been famous, and typically has her jump off before she officially exits the relationship; after all, this is the woman who was married to Marc Anthony within 4 months of breaking off her engagement with Ben Affleck. There may be a lot of smoke and mirrors and obfuscating when it comes to celebrity, but JLo hasn’t historically had much of a problem being public with her relationships.
All that and a zillion words to say that I think that she’s really into this dude. He wouldn’t be my first choice, but whatever floats her boat.
Okay.
Just for the sex would not be an issue, but she has this guy around her kids in a stepfather capacity. That doesn’t sound like something that’s just physical.
I agree. Now that I’m older I can’t imagine taking the time to meet another man, I’m almost 50. I kicked my last useless to the curb over a year ago, and am tempted to go back because there are less men on my horizon. I get why she can’t shake the last one- it’s easy.
I l know but… I wanna shake her & say “girl you can land MUCH better tail than that!”
Is the sex really that good? Just not seeing the chemistry between them in, like, every picture of them ever and that one music video I bothered watching awhile back. Oh well. Hope she’s happy regardless.
Can’t answer that. I haven’t had sex with him.
@kiddo: yeah right, you minx.
I was wondering if that was even a romantic kiss, Wren. It looks sort of like a greeting “mowa” from two ex lovers, not a real smooch.
Bet she marries him too..
Kiddo, nothing wrong with it being just about sex, but can’t she pick a GOOD looking guy who is not a total sleaze ball? Honestly, I would not have given him the time of day, never mind allowing him in bed. Ugh. She just confirms what I always thought, she’s dumb. Period.
But she LUHS her Papi.
Sigh. Love REALLY is blind for her, I guess.😑
that aint no definition of a ‘Papi’….
Papis out there will RIOT!!
Imagine needing to be with a guy like Casper Smart rather than being alone…my mother would show up to promptly backhand me across the globe and buy me a cat.
I’ll never understand the woman who can’t be single.
This made me chuckle so hard.
I’m just picturing a nondescript woman and a kitten flying backwards around the world like in Superman 2 and I’m dying in my lab.
You win the Internet today.
that. was. genius!!
Amy, we must be siblings.
She definately has some issues, … three marriages and three divorces, broken engagements, also riding shotgun with past boyfriend spending night in jail. And she went back for more JLO is mess concerning her personal life with men. I find her pathetic on that front, but a great businesswoman, but as far as relationships something is off with her and I do think it’s her who is the problem.
Abandonment issues. Part of the reason why she picks guys much lower than she in terms of looks and accomplishments – she is less afraid they are going to leave. If I had to guess, I would say her father was in and out of her life emotionally if not physically. Mistreatment likely feels like love to her.
“Imagine needing to be with a guy like Casper Smart rather than being alone…my mother would show up to promptly backhand me across the globe and buy me a cat.”
Hahahahahaha. Same. My family would wonder what the hell was wrong with me.
Plus I thought Casper is gay?
“I’ll never understand the woman who can’t be single.”
Me neither. It’s sad and disappointing.
Looking at him gives me an icky feeling. Blah.
Why does everyone hate Casper Smart again?
He’s cheated on her multiple times. Once by I think going to a porn theater and hooking up with someone that is transgender. It was caught on tape and that’s what spawned the “original” not-breakup.
yes.
@Jay He’s a leech. It looks like he’s living off her.
I think it’s JLO who is the problem, she picks these men.
Dear Jay, its cuz he’s a creep
Well paid idiot.
She sounds like a mess emotionally, IMO.
She picked him.
It’s never a good sign when you feel the need to lie about or hide your relationship
Truth!
Lol at these posts, but maybe he is a nice guy. He has his own stuff going on he is creative director to big artists and now movies ,not like Madonna’s little boys just following her around aimlessly.
I also find it hard to be very negative about Smart. Lainey at Laineygossip is always going on about how you should date someone on your ‘own level’ and how you should never date ‘down’. But that might be harder for someone very rich and famous, like Jennifer.
Yes, she should learn to be alone first, and it would be wiser for her to sort herself out. But I’m not judging her too much. She doesn’t look unhappy or unhealthy next to him, in fact they look at ease with each other in photographs. And Smart doesn’t seem to be intimidated by her fame. I think he always look amazingly confident next to her. Douchey, yes, but confident.
I think it’s far more difficult for a successful, rich, and famous woman to date at her level because the men at her level might not necessarily want to date women on their level.
JLO may be on his level emotionally.
Didn’t she do interviews talking about how great it was to be single? Ugh, JLo. Seriously ugh. On so many levels.
So sad that, at her age, she has to lie about this. No self-esteem.
Who really thought she was doing it with her co-star anyway?
Who really cared? SMH
Yup, I had a feeling it was all a front when she was moving her mouth.
What happened to this woman to make her overly dependent on men?
Well that explains why she hasn’t moved on to the next. Girlfriend cannot be alone so you know she would have “been in love” months ago with a new guy if they really had broken up. So sad…he’s just gross on every level
+ 1 True and Sad
Sigh. She can do so much better, but this is where she’s at. Papi, or Slum bear as Lainey calls him isn’t the real problem, the fact she allows climbing users who who would degrade her publicly back into her life is the problem. I think Marc messed her up worse than we can imagine.
Then explain the two marriages before Mark and the night in jail behind nights out with a past boyfriend who she took back after that whole episode for awhile?
I think JLO is a bit of a headcase in her relationships, Excellent businesswoman but something wrong with her emotionally,.
All 3 divorces and broken engagement ,can’t always be the other persons fault.
She wears extensions right? I like that blonde color on her.
RE: Caspar–No comment.
Yes her real hair is Shoulder Length.
So the 4th pic is her real hair?
Wow…the magic of extensions.
This is the best title ever XD I love it (and I agree, of course).
Yes I agree, about time she was called out.
I don’t think I’ve heard a single song of hers all the way through (as a singer she’s mediocre at best) and I’ve never seen one of her movies. However, as little as I think of her talent (pretty ok dancer I guess) no one can disparage her work ethic. She is fierce, hard working and makes good business decisions most of the time. This one is a BAD one. It’s no surprise that a woman who is smart in most things is a total bone-head when it comes to men. We all have our weak spot and that is mine also. I hope she doesn’t marry him–it could be a really expensive and heartbreaking mistake.
What? Make Caspar her #4? I can picture him and his friends laughing at her behind her back…. She’s now become a punch line. So sad.
Gross. She must have no self respect
I have never understood why Jlo was rehabilitated and is now reported on as if she is more than just an untalented pretty girl who rode her ass to fame. Beyonce gets torn apart for much less than what Jlo gets away with. I mean this is a 45 year old woman still singing look at my booty songs. And singing badly at that. Anyway, not surprised by any of this. If I were Jlo I wouldnt.want to be alone with my diva self either. Besides, shes no longer a vanity catch for the boys and which rational self made man would put up with her and all-white room nonsense?
That “Booty” song he had it Igloo was awful. And the video about gave me a seizure.
It was So Awful.
High five, Chichi!
She was “rehabilitated” when Roger Ebert said she was one of his favorite actresses, when Robert Redford praised her talent, when Viola Davis wanted her as a costar for the movie she’s producing, shall I go on, dear?
I’m glad to hear that, because I always liked her as an actress as well.
The problem is she gets rehabilitered but then goes backwards
Exactly Chichi, well said.
She seems to never age….or learn!
I’m not going to say a bad word about Casper Smart…Jennys’ been around the block (pun intended) too many times. She should know better! Her choice, her fault…
Her face is all Botoxed it looks so waxy, but she does take Excellent càre of herself. She does look great though.
Only one word–Pathetic!
I’ve been saying this forever. And listening to her interviews and excerpts from her book on how she as to learn to be alone and figure out her mistakes in her relationships a d she’s not dating, blah, blah. What a crock she was pushing. She hasn’t been alone at all.
Yup, same. Agree.
I know she probably wants a relationship where she’s the alpha dog, but really? This is the best she can do? Ew.
good to have this info if she ever talks about wanting privacy. if you seed rumors about your love life to sell a movie you dont have a right for privacy.
The headline, and this “I can understand why Jennifer wouldn’t want to be seen with Casper (full stop).”
fracking hilarious.
I don’t think she’s an idiot. I just think they have some type of weird arrangement. I honestly don’t even think their relationship real. Looks like she’s just having fun. He does his own thing on the side and I’m sure she does as well. It couldn’t be me, but I guess it works for them.
WHY. I just, I give up. Actually, I don’t. Remember the guy who played her love interest in that movie she made with Jane Fonda? Yeah, the movie was crap, but I thought they looked really cute together. That’s whom she should go out with!!!
I figured they weren’t really broken up because she never started dating anyone else. She started dating this guy, like 5 seconds after her and her husband split. If they were really apart she would have been parading around someone else.
Why not! If I’m still as hot as Jlo, able to date the guy I like, and he likes too…I’ll go for it. what will you do with all the earthy possession you have and you can’t enjoy your self the way you want it. The more important is she’s happy and well taken cared of. Casper is way way better than other celebs dated like that french Montana dude or that ex husband of Sandra bullock.
Nobody is saying she needs to be alone forever. People are commenting because she recently made big deal about being single and how shi is finally learning from past relationship mistakes, etc.
Truth is she can’t be without a man, any man, for longer than a few weeks. And the one she currently has is a known cheater and manwhore. She could find someone of better quality if she had patience and self-awareness but she seems to be lacking both qualities.
This isn’t a case of older woman with hot young boy toy because she is confident, wants hers, and doesn’t give a care. This isn’t woman hear me roar. This is a woman who is so desperate for male attention that she will put up with anything from a rather bland looking nominally talented guy who screws around on her. It’s sad.

THIS.
It is sad.
+1
This woman has Casper smart as her priority rather than her own children. I really can’t stand selfish women who will never go away.
Just cuz TMZ said it, doesn’t make it true. We all know that! I don’t like him one but tho!
He looks like a rat .. Feeding off her lol
Why is he a d-bag? If she’s happy with him, and she hopefully is, who really cares? It is between them.
Off topic, but she is so beautiful its ridiculous.
Wasn’t this guy caught cheating with a call girl? Or a guy? or something?
Yes.
She’s an idiot as headline says.
So the movie studios created a faux break up to sell tickets? And they create faux relationships (looking at you Rob and Kristen) to do the same? And create beards for their gay leading men for the same reason again? What? Sacrosanct Hollywood would never stoop so low. I’m just shocked I tell ya.
She seems very nice and down to earth on American Idol. She’s so beautiful but sometimes could do with less make up. I saw a photo of her placed beside Angelina Jolie. She could be Jolie’s daughter! And she’s forty five. Dont know why she’s with this guy but it’s her business I guess.
She looks like a Barbie, so beautiful!
She must be the most insecure female roaming the earth. I feel sorry for her children, since she is such a child herself.
She is so pathetic talking about self-growth and independence, and she can’t be without a man.
She’s got a raging ego and like a number of similarly driven and self-obsessed women, she has to have men around who worship the ground she walks on constantly. That’s why she can’t be without a man, she needs some poor schlub grovelling at the alter of J-Lo. Trouble is most have kinda gotten sick of it after a while (*coughAffleckcough*). I guess Caspar sold his cojones to the devil when he took up with her.
I’m thinking, aren’t we the idiots? I say well played Ms Lopez. He may be a douche bag but apparently he’s her douche bag. Honestly why wouldn’t she hide the relationship? One comment above was why lie about it. Have you read Just these comments? That’s one reason. She has a bad track record but she’s obviously happy being happy in the moment and will deal with the impending trainwreck when it happens. Besides she has Leah Remini as a best friend, do you really think she hasn’t received an honest opinion on Casper Smart?
Is it just me, or is Caspar’s neck tat getting smaller and/or lighter?
Jennifer, I’m you’re biggest fan but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Casper is so unattractive… Why Jenny, why?!
The headline of this article could have (and should have) started and ended with “Jennifer Lopez is an idiot” – and there would have been much more to discuss.
She was starting to look her age at some point then she did something and the botox is helping her . No comment on her relationships except say she is a mess always. What funny is her giving advice about relationship in some of her interviews . Girl shouldn’t be asked. Her acting carrier may be having turn around a bit that is a good thing.
Well it’s not exactly “perfection,” because the comma should be a semicolon. 😉
